Coming Out

'When did you come out?' Whether I'm doing a media interview, at a dinner party, or scrolling through social media comments, this question is almost always present. My forever answer, 'I'm always coming out.", is continuously met with the same confused look. In this LGBTQ+ short I spoof the many times I've come out in my life, from checking in to a hotel to find that they have "upgraded" my girlfriend and I to separate rooms to the 80 year old man at my office who always said "quit texting your boyfriend!" when I looked at my phone. I examine how the assumption of heterosexuality in our society requires LGBTQ+ folks to come out, daily, presented in a comedic and satirical light. There is power in laughter

Directed by Stephen Jones, Coming Out leans on a strong ensemble — Breanne Williamson, Hans Potter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2019.
